        Listening to liberals still defending Biden is like listening to Republicans in their cult like worship for Trump

          So dishonest lmao. Nobody thinks he’s a fucking banger of a candidate. Nobody is leaping for joy to vote for fucking Joe Biden. His faults are myriad and obvious. There is no worship. You have the choice between an actual despot and grampa Joe. That’s it.

            They are both despots, those are your choices. I, and many others, refuse to participate in failed politics which only serve the wealthy

              This is just reductive. Look at any of the policies from the D’s that benefit all of us, women, the poor. Waste your vote and enable fascism. Feel free.

                Fascism has been here, you just prefer yours covert

                gays… and education… and taxes… and infrastructure… and climate… and migration…

                If they cared about any of those issues theyve had decades to address them, yet you settle for bread crumbs.

                  And you would settle for Trump? How is that better? Our system has changed incrementally since its inception. I would vote for a socialist if they existed. The only party which remotely aligns with my ethics is the Democrats. What solution do you offer? Vote third party? Be a passive participant in project 2025 rather than an active voter for the significantly lesser of two evils?

                  You can take a respectable philosophical stance in a vacuum, but you’re not helping anyone in the real world. You’re a participant in creating harm, imo.

                  Edit: The dems have created real policies which help real people. Look as far back as FDR. Look at Obamacare, insulin caps, gay marriage rulings. Then look at bathroom bills, or like, anything R’s are pushing lol

                    Im not settling for anyone, trump is absolute garbage, but while the DNC has you terrified of Trump they are upholding the same views and policies as republicans. Everything they do is to protect capital and most times at our expense.

                    Lesser evil is a myth liberals tell themselves to justify doing what they know is harm.

                    Just so you know, everything FDR passed in social and workers rights came from socialist Francis Perkins. And the reason we havent seen anything like it since is because democrats actively fight those efforts. Their role is not to defeat republicans but prevent leftist orgs and movements from gaining power.

        Announcing that you beat Medicare isn’t a cold symptom.

        “Don’t you think he looks tired” isn’t a great talking point in favor of your candidate.
